[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Veldmuus:
Hello,

I got an problem on like 4 of the 5 kaisers here.

The problem is that sometimes the kaisers goes into an sleep where it doenst come out without reset.

You will get an black screen and the light of your keyboard is on and doesnt turn off. When this happens the battery goes from 100% to 0% in like 40 mins. without the problem i can use the phone for 2 days.

My question is how to solve this? I tried the following things.

- Radio 1.65, 1.70. 1.71

- 2 different hspl

- old and new kernel.

- and loads of different roms. from gingerbread to eclair.

Any solution or fix for this? because i can't use it for daily base now since when i dont notice the battery is empty of that bug.

Best Regards,

Veldmuus
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
That's the black screen of death. I never get that, but it's one of three problems that I have heard of. I think it might be related to going to sleep. I use the latest kernel, from git, which is pretty much identical to scooter1556's kernel with separate cache. What kernel are you using?

The second problem is the white screen of death, which I get a lot when I leave the phone on the charger. The screen is white bright, the kernel is not crashed. Sometimes Fn-Right-soft-key twice will cure this, but usually not. Some have guessed that this has something to do with the phone going to sleep not quite properly while charging. There is an option to not go to sleep while connected to a charger, and I haven't tried that option for a long time.

The third problem is a kernel crash (screen freezes, keyboard doesn't turn on LED, etc) caused by compcache (zram). Can be avoided by not using compcache.

The most annoying issue I have is that I've never figured out how to tweak the build so that apps can be installed to SD. I've been trying to change initrd so that, when installed completely on NAND, the sdcard is completely managed by vold. So far no success, and I've pretty much moved on to my newer phone (Rhodium, aka AT&T Tilt2).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
I have spent the last week or so "tweaking" my build.prop file, adding lines for disabling sleep mode, 3G speed tweaks (doesn't do much yet) and fixing small compatibility issues such as AGPS/GPS not working. So far so good, no more sleep of death/black screen/white screen.

If successful, I would ask that the modified build.prop file be added to the Froyo builds on SourceForge, intergrated directly as to eliminate "end user interaction", meaning you won't have to touch it.

I am also looking into some sysinit.rc mods as well, but I haven't had much time lately.

Veldmuus, do you have a way to edit your own build.prop file such as Root Explorer, or would you have to push it to the phone via ADB?

Co-Pilot or Sygic dont work!

What are you guys using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Which version of Sygic did you try? When I will get my phone I will test Sygic Fleet 14r because I need it for bussines phones...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
latest one from the market

it opens, I get a black screen and then it closes :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Then mark it as not compatible... Fleet version is not avalible on Market and I newer had any issue with app no mather which version of Android I had... I hope that it will work on ICS too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j1mmyg88:
im using co-pilot premium which works fine on mine, sometimes closes immediately but upon re-opening it is fine

I've got Nav Free on mine, not used it yet but started it up to see if it will run and it found my location no problem and seems to be working ok. Like i say though i haven't actually used it so you may find probems i haven't if you do use it.

What wrong with the built-in google navigation? hasnt let me down yet and i'm using it every other day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canishu:
try using google maps with a caped internet. that's why some are looking for nav with maps stored in the phone.

I had navigon on my desire, but now dont know what to get.

emailed navigon, they've asked for more details, I gave them and no answer after.

the app is opening and is looking for a map. can not download the map nither by wlan nor pc (navigon fresh).

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Google doesn't have Navigation. It is avalible only for USA and few other countrys ;) also it spend your data and this can be problem if you have limited data plan (100MB) like me. 100Mb is more than enought for me because in office&home and other places I use WiFi...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rokfor2000:
No "travlel via" or "avoid road" or "alternative route" options. It always tries to put me on M60 around junction 9 during rush hour. It's a no go zone at this time and there is no way to tell it to your google navigator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canishu:
Any news about a god sat nav for ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TulpiX:
Still no news? Satnav is about the only thing I'm missing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canishu:
Hi,

I just installed "NAVFREE".

I did not had a chance to proper test it just for a few miles. it is working but 'i did not liked the roots it took. just a bit of extra miles when rooting.

hope navigon will make a good version for SGN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Navfree isn't great.. told me to take the 4th exit on a couple of roundabouts that only have 3 exits, and I needed the second :/

Try the free ones from MapQuest or Waze.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
If you are following Sygic official tweeter, they said Sygic 4.0 will be released before the end of the year. It supports ICS.

In fact, you can go to their support forum to try the beta version.

I am using 3.0 version 11.2.2, it is a very good app. It has problem in the past with stability, but the latest version fixed it. Tested last weekend with 300 km driving, flawless.

Cant wait their ICS version!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chill8:
With Sygic can I pre-download maps for offline use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yes. You must download the map first before you can use it.

So it's completely offline.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -WP7User-:
It's really dumb to try that. If I was you, I'd wait until a stable build comes out that's known. Because if there'd really be Android out there for the HD7 I think it would be more popular...

And the consequences would probably be - like Zubair Kirmani already said - that you've got a virus on your pc or that your phone's bricked which means that you can't use it anymore and that you can throw it into the bin.

And you don't want that, do you?

Why does everyone want to install Android on the HD7 anyway? A first build would just be laggy as hell and quite unusable...But whatever :)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
The module on the KF has the required antenna switch front end to use the one antenna for both BT and WiFi. The only requirement left is that the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up. Unfortunately the source doesn't give us any indication like on the Nook Color.

Maybe we need a half-dead Kindle for reverse engineering...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
I'm a noob at this but if they took it apart couldn't they see if the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up? And if they are, how would you activate the bluetooth?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
That is exactly why I think getting a damaged Kindle for dissection would be beneficial. If the enable signal is wired up to a GPIO, then it's easy to add that to the kernel.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
Lets assume that it was wired up, how would you activate the Bluet

ooth?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Activating it, maybe, but I doubt the Kindle build of Android has the plumbing for Bluetooth.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
So would this app have to be specifically made for the KFire? Or can I just get a Bluetooth On/Off Widget from the Market?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
No that won't work, because the kernel doesn't support bluetooth. Basically those sorts of apps will tell the kernel "turn on bluetooth" or "turn off bluetooth" and the kernel will do it (that's my understanding at least). So support would have to be added to the kernel (i.e. needs to be a custom kernel)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
So how long would it take to make this custom kernel?

Can be compiled.as a module, can't it? I doubt though that the fire has all the other bluetooth stuff built in (I haven't looked, but they would be in /system/etc/bluetooth if it did.)

Of course it's all moot if the hardeware isn't wired for it... if it is, great... if it's not, somebody has to figure that out first.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajq:
Cost is the about the biggest reason I can think of. They spent a lot of dev time doing what they did, so enabling it software-wise probably would have been easy enough for them to do.

Doing the extra.bits in the hardware.side might have been easy, and.might.not have increased.the cost.dramatically, but aren't they losing money on the hardware.already?

Royalty fees maybe? Either that or they simply didn't have the drivers ready for it on launch and it will be enabled later. Hard to imagine having the hardware on it and not being able to activate it. OTOH I have an FM tuner on my phone that still hasn't been enabled even on xda. :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
I do not have a Kindle Fire yet nor do I have the Nook Tablet. Thought I'd share some info regarding turning on BT.

In the kernel there is a drivers folder for BT-

\kernel\android-2.6.35\drivers\bluetooth\

The KConfig file explains which BT driver to use depending on the manufacturer of the chip and whether the driver will be part of the kernel or separate module.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Certainly this is going to be the "texas" mode in hciattach just like on the Nook Color, since it's the same chipset. The chip talks through a serial port, so there really isn't a chipset specific driver.

The big question is still how it's wired. Barnes & Noble were nice enough to leave comments in the code regarding the enable signal for Nook Color BT, which made it fairly easy to get working. But there's nothing like that in any of Amazon's code. The options at this point are lots of trial and error, or find a Fire with a broken screen to do some destructive analysis.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Thanks, though the work I'm thinking of should be pretty simple and require just a hot air rework station, though a little tedious. If we desolder the CPU and the BT module, we can methodically check for pins that are connected between the two. Then using the ballout for the OMAP4430 determine what port the pins are connected to. The wireless modules are usually of a relatively low pin count and should only have a handful of active pins after power and ground are ruled out. Here are some photos of how this was done on the Nook Color.

Bluetooth via USB dongle?

There still seems to be interest in BT on the Kindle Fire, although a solution whereby we modify the internal components seems to have stalled/failed.

How about this alternative: (Just throwing it out there...)

Is it possible to use a Micro-B (male) USB to Type A (female) converter cable, such as the following:

(can't link, but there are plenty of examples on the internet)

... to connect a USB Bluetooth dongle to the Kindle Fire?

I imagine it could be plugged in without a hiccup, but the question is whether it could interface with it, or indeed, whether the USB connection on android devices can be used for anything more than mass storage.

In the thread on porting regular (desktop environment) Linux to the Fire in the Android Development Forum, there has been success using the USB port to interface with mouse and keyboard, so perhaps it's possible?
